External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Army Beta. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20121010041652/http://official-asvab.com:80/history_rec.htm to http://official-asvab.com/history_rec.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Validity Data[edit]

I re-added the detailed validity data that Grayfell removed on 25 March 2019 because it was from primary sources and data and was more detailed than the information he replaced it with. Yes, I cited one of my own articles^[1] in the section, but I cited two other books not authored by me to prevent excessive self-citation. Cassmus (talk) 18:56, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit presented your own study as significant without any secondary support. Wikipedia strongly favors WP:SECONDARY sources. Do not add WP:EDITORIALIZING language, also. Do not re-add this until consensus has been formed. Grayfell (talk) 19:48, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
